# Hello Everyone! I noticed this yellowing stem (I think) on my queen…

_Posted by Richard on 2024-04-17_

Hello Everyone!  
I noticed this yellowing stem (I think) on my queen anthurium.  
I can safely cut it off because the only leaf attached to it is dead, or dying. I was just wondering if I should cut it off, or if this stem is even an issue and I’m just seeing things. I’m not entirely sure what to do, so I’m looking for advice on how I could possibly go about this. The roots have no rot, and neither does any other parts of the stem. Not too sure where this came from. Thank you for any input in advance!!

Is the leaf connected to the yellowing stem showing any issues?

Yes, it’s didn’t make it. It’s browning but the leaf directly below is very happy!

It’s receiving too little water.

Thank you. I got it a moss pole today so the Arial roots can get a more even flow of water
